Ten years have passed since its launch, and Minecraft continues to be one of the most loved games of the present It's now getting a makeover in the form of Ray Tracing. This is the holy grail of gaming graphics that simulates the physical properties of light, bringing real-time, cinematic quality rendering to games.
NVIDIA announced that it was developing realistic graphics for Minecraft in the past year. They will be accessible to Windows users starting on April 16th. The beta version is currently in beta. It will include the familiar Minecraft single-player experience with shadows and reflections that are ray-traced as well as lighting and custom realistic materials. In addition, you'll be able explore six new RTX worlds that were created by community creators. These worlds include Aquatic Adventure and Imagination Island, as well as Neon District. They are free for Minecraft Windows 10 gamers who use the Minecraft Marketplace.
The release that is focused on visuals also comes with physically-based rendering (PBR). This means that surfaces appear more real, regardless of whether they're rough matte stone or glossy smooth Ice. NVIDIA's NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 is available to help with the heavy lifting needed to power this. NVIDIA's AI upscaler 2.0 uses RTX Tensor centers to take a lower resolution image and upscale it at your target resolution. It's a new version that NVIDIA launched alongside NVIDIA RTX cards.
Since it's still in beta, you should expect some issues to arise at this point. Certain features aren't included in the beta, for example, such as multiplayer realms, third-party servers, or cross-play. There are still design problems and dimensions that cannot be optimized for Ray-tracing. Banners are black and slime mobs don't have faces. These are issues that will be addressed in due time. Official release date has not yet been announced. Jasonotto Developers would like to hear from the public about the beta release.
